About Lambda Sigma Gamma

Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Incorporated was founded at Sacramento State University
in 1986. Our founders realized that the campus did not offer an organization that
met the needs of women from several minority backgrounds. They found an interest in
forming an organization that would not only act as a family away from home, but that
would also bring together women from various backgrounds and incorporate the principles
of self improvement, scholastic excellence, civic responsibility and leadership. Our
beautiful sorority became a reality on October 24, 1986 by 27 women. Since then, 22
additional chapters have joined our growing family. Over 25 years, Lambda Sigma Gamma
Sorority, Incorporated has grown to include thousands of women from different creeds,
ethnicities, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, physical talents, mental abilities
and sexual preferences. We are continuously growing and welcoming new women to take
part in our amazing sisterhood.

Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Incorporated is an academic, community, social, and multicultural
sorority at San José State University. We are a solid network of women in higher education
who have chosen to unite to enhance our college experiences. Over the past 20 years,
our sisters have become involved with several clubs and organizations on campus including
Associated Students, Orientation and Transition leaders, United Sorority and Fraternity
Council executive board members, Chicano Commencement board members, and Students
Advocating for Higher Education, just to name a few. We provide our members a family
away from home in order to facilitate the retention of motivated students. Through
the support its members offer each other, Lambda Sigma Gamma has developed a strong,
safe and loving environment where friendships grow, characters build, knowledge is
shared, and a multicultural sisterhood is created.
